About Maisha Meds

We help small, local pharmacies partner with vetted suppliers to ensure high quality medicines are stocked. We also offer working capital to pharmacies to help them grow their businesses.

We do this through an Android app that helps pharmacies manage inventory as well as serve as a point-of-sales tool. Our software is used by hundreds of pharmacies in Kenya to support hundreds of thousands of patients each year. We’re rapidly expanding our user base, and are likely to expand to different countries in the future.

What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for an engineer to help build features for our flagship Android app.

The ideal candidate has:

3+ years of building quality Android applications or equivalent experience

Good understanding of how to support older versions of Android

History of writing clean, well-documented code and automated tests

Experience with integrating with REST APIs

Excellent communication skills and ability to work well with a culturally diverse and distributed team

Experience building apps for environments with limited internet connectivity is a plus

Fluency in Swahili and English (preferred)

Our company is based in Kisumu and we would love to have you join us onsite (although a little flexible).
